		</div><p>Graham Norton will bring his sharp wit and winning humour as the host of the British Academy film awards.</p>
<p>The chat show host, 56, has presented the TV Baftas on multiple occasions over the last 15 years but this will be his first time hosting the film ceremony.</p>
<p>He takes over from Joanna Lumley, who fronted the show for two years, and her predecessor Stephen Fry.</p>

<p>Norton is already a skilled host and is well known to film stars thanks to his popular BBC talk show.</p>
<p>Lumley drew mixed reviews from viewers at the 2019 ceremony and some criticism for a quip about the Ku Klux Klan while referring to the film BlacKkKlansman.</p>
<p>The overnight TV audience dropped by half a million viewers.</p>
<p>When the news was first announced last year, Norton said: <em>“I’m delighted to be taking the helm of the biggest night in British film, the audience at the Royal Albert Hall will be the biggest sofa I’ve ever faced.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’m honoured to be following in the fabulous footsteps of Stephen Fry and Joanna Lumley.”</em></p>
<p>The EE British Academy film awards will be handed out on February 2 at the Royal Albert Hall.</p>
